Preparing for the 21st Century
Higher Order Thinking Skills
Even entry level jobs in many fields require
skills that center on critical
thinking, problem-solving, and the
effective use of technology.
Even the best of textbooks cannot keep up with
current advances...across the globe, and
throughout the universe. Constantly emerging
information and communication technologies allow
teachers and students to experience these
changes... (Teaching in the 21st
Century,Learning Sciences International, 2007)
